In heralding the Euangelion of God...


  1. See that you “wait’, until you are filled with the very spirit of God, the spirit spoken of in scripture as the spirit of Jesus. Then be filled with, led by, empowered by, and live your life IN that spirit of the life and grace and truth displayed in Jesus Christ. This spirit will itself vindicate your message, as you do this work commanded by your High King.
  2. Going, walking, announcing, -  wherever people will listen!
  3. (This point can remain unstated- or might be better illustrated) “We (humans) need leadership.”
  4. (This point can remain unstated- or might be better illustrated) “We (humans) have a lack of true leadership.
  5. (This message must be stated) God has picked out a leader for humanity (from among us), - it is Yeshua bar Natzaret! - he is building his new Way of leading/ governing the world.
  6. (Points 6 a & b may be stated, where it would be helpful, but maybe not where people are not responsive to number 5 above)   
    1. We must change our view of life in this world, let go of our old commitments to “climbing the ladder”, & this world's way of leading, &
    2. embrace this news of our new Leader of Humanity & live loyal to him, and his Way.
  7. To those interested, translate and illustrate the Way of life “from above”, and death, and resurrection, of this Man, and his style of leadership, via the 350 little story-lets” embedded in the four “gospels” - which also model for us different ways of stringing them together.

* (each little story-let is thought to have been transmitted orally for the first decades after Jesus went to be installed as High King. Each one is technically called a pericope (pronounced puri-cupy), and the plural is pericopae (I'm not sure if it has the same pronunciation as the singular word, or whether it ends as does cafe, or ballet).
